Intro

I am a second year graduate student in the Robotics Institute at Carnegie Mellon University and part of the Center for the Neural Basis of Cognition. My interests are in the areas of control of human locomotion, graphics, cognitive science, and virtual reality. My academic adviser is professor Jessica Hodgins.

I grew up in Romania, went to high school in Constanta by the Black Sea, and graduated with a B.A. in computer science from Mount Holyoke College, MA in summer of 2008. In 2007-2008 I spent several months at the Max Planck for Biological Cybernetics in Tuebingen, Germany as a visiting student/intern.

I'm not paying particular attention to this website so the news here might be a little old. I try to reply to e-mail promptly so drop me a line for questions, code, ideas.
